picmmootThis blog is a medium by which J'moul seeks to posit legal commentaries matters of law especially those of a European and

International nature. Moreover, he seeks to add a different perspective to the many issues discussed in legal academia to contribute to the shaping of legal thought. He believes that Caribbean legal scholars must play a role in the development of legal thought and seek to materialise concrete ideas for the furtherance of the mankind. Therefore, J'moul hopes that his legal commentaries are not only seen as pods of legal advocacy but are seen as that lesser light leading readers to the greater light of legal thought.
